Re: Fwd: [Orfeo Toolbox (OTB) 0000981]: Please add licences
Sébastien,
You don't have to use the machine readable format, but all licenses
must be discussed.
If eg boost is present under Utilities/BGL you should add the boost license.
Since we are writing a new copyright file it makes sense to use the
machine readable format immediately:
Files: Utilities/BGL
Copyright: xxx
License:BSL-1.0
This being said: I have said this before, but I would repackage otb
for debian (easy to do by adding Files-Excluded to the copyright file)
and remove all the code we don't use so we don't have to create (and
maintain) a copyright file for it. It is also a good way to ensure we
are really using the debian version of the libraries and not our own.
Reading through debian/rules I see:
USE_EXTERNAL_BOOST, USE_EXTERNAL_GDAL, USE_EXTERNAL_OSSIM, USE_EXTERNAL_EXPAT
Those could already be removed.
But then the job is not done, many others are listed under
Utilities/ITK/Modules/ThirdParty/ and in other places. If we
distribute them, they should be in the copyright file.
Definitely all licenses should be there, I'm not sure about what one
should write for copyright. Listing everyone does not seem that useful
to me.
